How to make New Years' Cheap and Early:
Forget license when switching to tiny, party purse.
December 2010
Hrm. So far have cleaned out under the bathroom sink, the microwave, the freezer and am still in pajamas (although did have nice long bath complete with manmosa). I don’t know, not really feeling the random bar NYE experience. Stick a silly straw in a bottle of champagne and settle in front of Netflix?
I don’t even have anything to wear.

Something to be said for...
When New Years’ Eve rolls around, rather than reflecting on how good or bad the last year was, I like to think about what’s going to happen in the next. Particularly, I like to look back at all the new people I met in the past year and try to imagine who is not yet in my life but will be very important to me this time next year. Last year, there was no way I could imagine the sheer...
What kills me about this is that “…”[Bellhorn] wasn’t thinking of that curve ball that time, that’s for sure” is the ONLY baseball-related commentary Ron makes in 3 minutes worth of air-time. Honestly. Only Cubs baseball. Well, maybe only Ron Santo. Can you even imagine Yankees color commentators having this conversation? I don’t know, maybe it’s a...
Okay, I wasn’t going to post that last picture but the cat’s face was just too damn funny not to. Also? Wine and Lagavulin.

I think guys grow horrible beards because they can’t have babies. It’s their only way to be all “Look! I can produce stuff!”
yes, beards are our cats…
And sometimes our cats are our beards.
Was just re-listening to this classic Ron Santo &...
Ron: See that lady with the chocolate cake? Ooh! Doesn't that look good?
Pat: Is that on the TV monitor?
Ron: Yeah it was just on the monitor. What...what's your favorite cake. I mean if you were to have a birthday cake, what would you ask for? Strawberry?
Pat: I love carrot cake. I loooove carrot cake. One ball, two strikes.
Ron: I do too, I do too. But usually they don't give carrot cakes for birthdays...
Pat: Here's the next offering fouled away. 1 and 2.
Ron: Let me put it this way. Usually birthday cakes will have strawberries. I know you love strawberries...
Pat: Love 'em.
Ron: ...I mean you'll take every strawberry that you can get your hands on and you don't care about the rest of the people....
Pat: No, I always leave at least one strawberry...
Ron: (indignant) Yeah at least one. Anyway, I love a vanilla and chocolate frosting cake. Do you like chocolate and vanilla...?
Pat: Like an angel food? There's a fastball outside. 2 and 2.
Ron: No. Angel food cake is a sponge type cake...
Pat: And you don't like that..
Ron: I'm ...I'm not crazy about it. But (frustrated) I'm asking you about two types of cakes. I'm asking you...
Pat: 2 balls and 2 strikes. Did you say vanilla cake?
Ron: Yeah. Vanilla. Like a white cake...
Pat: Here's the 2-2 pitch to Bellhorn, it's outside. 3 and 2.
Ron: ...And chocolate frosting or a chocolate cake and vanilla frosting.
Pat: See, when I hear vanilla I think ice cream, instead of cake and...and I'm not trying to be difficult...
Ron: Okay white...white frosting.
Pat: 3 and 2 on Bellhorn.
Ron: Evidently you don't have a choice.
Pat: Curveball got him looking. Strike three call. Bellhorn... perhaps he was thinking about cakes at that moment. One away and here's Michado.
Ron: Wasn't thinking of that curve ball that time, that's for sure.
Pat: How about a nice, rich German Chocolate cake?
Ron: That's.... (calculating)... a chocolate... cake... with chocolate frosting. I didn't ask you that! ::with growing anger:: Why don't you answer....?! All you gotta say is which one do you like? Which one do you prefer?
Pat: I'm sticking with carrot cake as Robert Machado steps in. One away, nobody on, fourth inning. And Machado swings and foul tips it into Cruder's glove. 0 and 1.
Ron: (resigned) You can't even commit to a cake. I can't believe that.
Pat: You know I'm not a big cake guy.
Ron: (snippy) Oh! I understand that! But even when I ask you who you think's going to win a division and I give you a couple choices you..you...you...don't say. You won't commit to anything.
Pat: I'm sticking with carrot cake.
Here's the recording (starting at 2: 20ish).

Again, rest in peace, Ron. Cubs games won't be the same without you.

People are just the worst. Very ironic that this was featured in the “Vows” section. Blech.

Was literally just trimming this particular paragraph to say the same thing.

Can I tell you, I was actually pretty disappointed while watching Ryan Gosling read the FuckyeahRyanGosling posts/meme? He just didn’t do it right. Or at least he didn’t do the FuckYeahRyanGosling voice that I have in my mind.
Hey Gurl.
No he sucked at it. But that’s a whole ‘nother level of disappointment because…. ::sigh::

“With a spot on its slate left open after the failure of Rubicon, AMC has picked up the Western-ish series Hell On Wheels, about Britney Spears’ boyfriend from Crossroads being a former Confederate soldier on the hunt for revenge and building a railroad.

So okay I had a nice holiday party tonight and it’s clear I no longer need to should be blogging this evening.
